Chapter 717: Chapter 717
Lin Fan and Hu Feifan stood atop the city tower of Cloud West City, looking towards Sovereign Mountain.
"Hu Feifan, tell me, what exactly is the deal with Sovereign Mountain?" Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
Hu Feifan replied, "Young Master, Sovereign Mountain is the most mysterious peak among the Ten Thousand Mountains. Normally, it is surrounded by swirling mists, and it's enveloped by an overwhelmingly powerful energy, which prevents even experts at the Saint Ascension level from approaching it. No one knows what's inside the mountain!"
Lin Fan listened intently to Hu Feifan and his brows slightly furrowed, thinking to himself: "It seems that Sovereign Mountain is truly extraordinary."
After glancing at Lin Fan, Hu Feifan continued, "Sovereign Mountain has always stood quietly there, like a mystery. No one knows what lies inside. Once, the ten peak experts of the Holy Soul Domain decided to explore Sovereign Mountain, but half of them died or were hurt; since then, no one dared to go there!"
"This time, something unusual has occurred at Sovereign Mountain. If I'm not mistaken, perhaps Sovereign Mountain has awakened!" Hu Feifan spoke solemnly.
"Awakened? What do you mean?" Lin Fan turned towards Hu Feifan.
Hu Feifan explained, "Young Master, it is rumored that Sovereign Mountain is an Ancient Divine Mountain, relocated here by an Ancient God long ago. After continuous transformations, it became what it is now. There might be ancient fortunes on the mountain—of course, whether these are fortunes or disasters, no one can say for sure because no one has ever entered Sovereign Mountain."
While talking, Hu Feifan looked at Lin Fan and noticed he was zoning out.
Lin Fan glanced towards Sovereign Mountain, feeling a surge of eagerness in his heart.
He actually felt a compelling urge to explore Sovereign Mountain.
"Young Master, you're not planning to enter Sovereign Mountain, are you?" Hu Feifan asked anxiously.
At that moment, Hu Feifan regretted mentioning Sovereign Mountain to the Young Master.
Lin Fan asked, "Why? Can't I?"
Hu Feifan became even more anxious, responding, "No, Young Master, you mustn't. Although there might be opportunities at Sovereign Mountain, there could also be great disasters. It's too risky for you."
Lin Fan laughed and said, "Do you think you can persuade me?"
Hu Feifan fell silent. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
The changes in Sovereign Mountain finally stabilized in the afternoon.
However, the entire Ten Thousand Mountains were boiling over with excitement.
Many people knew something monumental had occurred at Sovereign Mountain.
Many had even decided to explore Sovereign Mountain.
The Alliance Hierarch of the Gaitian Alliance stood quietly with several high-ranking members of the alliance behind him.
One of the high-ranking members said, "Alliance Hierarch, we mustn't. With your invaluable status, you cannot risk going there. What lies within Sovereign Mountain is unknown to anyone; if something happens..."
The Alliance Hierarch of the Gaitian Alliance slowly turned and replied calmly, "I know you mean well, but don't try to persuade me. My mind is already made up—I have to go to Sovereign Mountain."
The high-ranking member who had spoken earlier asked, "But why, Young Master?"
The Alliance Hierarch of the Gaitian Alliance shook his head gently and said, "No reason."
Under the current circumstances, the Alliance Hierarch naturally wouldn't reveal his reasons.
This time, the Alliance Hierarch of the Gaitian Alliance must go to Sovereign Mountain.
He knew that without realizing it, Lin Fan had grown strong and he was no longer a match for Lin Fan. The urgent matter now was to find a great adventure for himself; just one adventure might allow him to surpass Lin Fan again.
At Sovereign Mountain, there might just be the grand adventure that could let the Alliance Hierarch of the Gaitian Alliance turn the tables.
So, the leader of the Gaitian Alliance would not miss this opportunity, no matter what he has to venture into it, to take a gamble, if the gamble is right he will soar to the skies, even if it's a bad gamble, it is still a worthy death.
In Cloud West City, Lin Fan was engaged in cultivation!
Tomorrow, Lin Fan was preparing to set off for Sovereign Mountain.
But tonight, Lin Fan would make his last effort, striving to keep himself at the peak state.
Suddenly, a flame ignited before Lin Fan, it was someone using a Sound Transmission Talisman on him.
Lin Fan waved his hand, and the flame before him disappeared instantly.
Then, the sound of Hu Feifan came from the surrounding void: "Young master, someone is requesting to meet!"
Lin Fan was startled, someone wanted to see him?
Lin Fan then opened the door of the Cultivation Secret Room, and Hu Feifan walked in.
Lin Fan asked directly: "Who wants to see me?"
Hu Feifan said: "Ascetic!"
Lin Fan was again surprised, it was unexpected for Ascetic to come at this time.
Lin Fan thought of Lin Zizai among the Ascetics.
Speaking of which, Lin Zizai's help to Lin Fan was significant, and coupled with the unusual relationship between Lin Zizai and Lin Fan's father, Lin Fan was indeed grateful to him.
"Okay, let's go out and see!"
Lin Fan walked out of the secret room, directly to the guest hall of Cloud West City.
In the hall, Lin Zizai was squatting there with two Ascetics.
Not far away there were perfectly good tiger skin sofas, but these Ascetics, they would not sit, for them, cultivation was possible everywhere, even this short moment was to be used for maintaining cultivation.
Lin Fan called out, came to Lin Zizai, and said: "I didn't expect Uncle Lin to come back."
Lin Zizai exited his cultivation state, chuckled after a moment, and said, "Lin Fan, I was passing by and thought of checking on you."
Lin Fan looked at Lin Zizai, and after Lin Zizai finished, Lin Fan smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, did you really come just to see your nephew?"
Lin Zizai said, "What did you notice?"
After another laugh, Lin Fan lightly said: "Uncle Lin, actually, your eyes, they've told me everything."
Lin Zizai also smiled with satisfaction and said: "Nephew, you are indeed extremely intelligent."
Having said this, Lin Zizai then paused for a bit before continuing, "You're right, to be honest, we came here specifically to find you for a matter!"
Lin Fan said: "Uncle Lin, whatever matter you have, just mention it, but first, please, sit down to talk!"
Lin Zizai hesitated and said, "Here...is it okay to speak here? Isn't it inconvenient?"
Lin Fan laughed and then said: "These people are all trusted confidants of mine, Uncle Lin, feel free to say anything."
